 7-3  

 

 

 

 

 

Problem Isolation Procedure:

 Use the following sequence to determine the most probable 

cable: 

1.

 

With no sensor connected, run DSC Self Test (see Section 7.2.2 “BISx Checkout 
Procedure): 

 

If test fails or will not start, or the BISx is not recognized, the Monitor cable is 
likely suspect. This failure may also be related to a PCB problem in the BISx in 
which case the BISx must be replaced. 

 

If test indicates PASS, continue to step 2. 

 

2.

 

Connect Sensor Simulator or Test Simulator. Run Sensor Check (see Section 7.2.3 
“PIC Chekcout Procedure) 

 

If failure is noted, swap PIC with known good PIC cable and run again.  

 

If failure repeats, the BISx or the BISx Bulkhead Connector is suspect. This 
failure may also be related to a PCB problem in the BISx in which case the BISx 
must be returned to Aspect for service.
